Make host_state a property of a loaded_vmcs so that it can be
used as a cache of the VMCS fields, e.g. to lazily VMWRITE the
corresponding VMCS field. Treating host_state as a cache does
not work if it's not VMCS specific as the cache would become
incoherent when switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02.
Move vmcs_host_cr3 and vmcs_host_cr4 into host_state.
Explicitly zero out host_state when allocating a new VMCS for a
loaded_vmcs. Unlike the pre-existing vmcs_host_cr{3,4} usage,
the segment information is not guaranteed to be (re)initialized
when running a new nested VMCS, e.g. HOST_FS_BASE is not written
in vmx_set_constant_host_state().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
